Orecchiette with Chicken Sausage and Broccoli Rabe image

We cut calories in this Italian dish by reducing the amount of pasta, but bumped up the flavor by using extra-virgin olive oil, vinegar, and a generous amount of broccoli rabe.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 bunches (2 pounds total) broccoli rabe, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
8 ounces orecchiette or other short pasta
2 precooked Italian chicken or turkey sausages (6 ounces total), cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add broccoli rabe, and cook until bright green, about 1 minute. Using a wire skimmer or small sieve, transfer to a colander set over a bowl to catch drips (a few bits may remain in cooking water); set aside. Return water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and return to pot.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage; cook, without turning, until browned, about 4 minutes. Add broccoli rabe, vinegar, and garlic. Cook until broccoli rabe is tender, scraping up browned bits in skillet, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add pasta and oil to broccoli rabe mixture. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Serve.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The chicken sausage is savory, the broccoli rabe is slightly bitter, and the garlic adds a nice sharpness.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken sausage. I also like to add a bit of red pepper flakes for a little spice.
